10. PRELIMINARY CHECKS FOR THE FIRST START UP
OBLIGATORY GUIDE LINES FOR THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE; ANIMALS AND OBJECTS.
The following information is about a number of obligatory general regulations for a correct instalment, and is
intended for the installer.
• It is recommended to place insulation between the floor and the touching points of the machine with a
sheet at least 2mm thick and a diameter at least 50mm greater than the area occupied by the machine, if
the stove is installed on top of a wooden floor.
• The flue tubing must have a diameter of at least 80mm.
• Leave a space of at least 50 mm between the outer sheeting of the stove and the wall in order to ensure
correct air intake of the air that will go on to be heated by the stove, and also to allow easy removal of the
air filter for cleaning.
• Should the machine be installed close to flammable walls, keep a safe distance of 30cm from the rear and
sides of the machine. Avoid leaving any type of flammable or combustible materials within 1m of the heat
waves from the glass window situated on the front of the machine. If installed on a floor made out of
flammable material place a sheet at least 3mm thick, 30cm away from the front of the machine and 10cm
form the side.
• For built in installation of ECONOMICA model in contact with flammable materials, place all around the
frame of the plate and the material, an insulating sheet at least 20mm thick. Should there be a shelf
positioned above the plate, made out of flammable material, keep a distance of at least 60cm.
• For the INSERTO model, never install the machine with built in flammable material.
• Check for a correct level of combustible load inside the crucible.
• For the ECONOMICA model, remove oil residues that protect the upper plate.
For the first few minutes that the machine operates (for the first time) it may be possible to smell paint:
this is normal. Aerate the room with the machine operational.
